BACKGROUND Although allergic fungal sinusitis is a relatively common, noninvasive form of paranasal sinus mycosis, and despite frequent orbital involvement, there have been few reports of this condition in the ophthalmic literature. METHODS Two cases of allergic fungal sinusitis having orbital symptoms are described. The current classification, typical presentation, and ideal management of fu...

Chronic sinusitis is a major cause of morbidity today. Regional variations in the incidence of this disease have been reported.

Nosocomial sinusitis is common in critical illness. Randomized trials indicate that radiographic sinusitis (RS) occurs in 25%-75% of all critically ill patients and that 18%-32% of endotracheally intubated patients will develop sinusitis. Variability in the estimated incidence of RS stems from the many radiographic techniques used for diagnosis. Critically ill patients with suspected sinusitis ...

Results Total 152 patients were included and their average age (SD) were 66.83 years (6.52), 73% women, 78% Caucasian and 22% Hispanic. Arterial hypertension was the most frequent comorbidity (27%), followed by chronic rhino sinusitis (14%), RGE (10%), diabetes (5%) and obesity (5%).

BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of maxillary sinusitis is difficult on the basis of clinical examination only because the signs and symptoms of sinusitis are nonspecific. A simple, rapid, and readily available method for diagnosing maxillary sinusitis in primary care would increase the accuracy of the diagnoses and thus reduce unnecessary antibiotic treatment. OBJECTIVE To investigate the valid...
